Kevin Grosse, 56, of Windsor Locks, Connecticut, passed away suddenly on March 12, 2026. Born in Ojai, California to parents Louis " Tony" Grosse and Carol Grosse on November 17, 1969. He attended Rocky Hill High School and graduated in 1988. After high school he proudly served his country in the United States Air Force and was stationed at Vandenberg Air Force Base in Lompoc, California. Kevin came back to Connecticut after his honorable discharge and attended Western Connecticut State University where he earned his degree in Criminal Justice and later received his Executive MBA from the University of Connecticut.

Kevin started his career with the State of Connecticut Judicial System as a Judicial Marshal and worked his way up to Deputy Director when he retired after 20 years. Fulfilling a childhood dream, he then became a truck driver.

Kevin is survived by his sons TJ Viggiano, Connor Grosse, and Logan Grosse. He is also survived by his sisters, Denise Grosse, and Adrienne Stanford, her husband Bill, and their children, Emmy and Cinco. Kevin shared a special bond with Tiffany Williamson; her daughter, Brittany; Brittany's husband, Evan; and their children, Vincent and Lyla, who affectionately called him "Grumpa." He also leaves behind several aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Kevin loved spending time with his family and was incredibly proud of his children. He stayed closely connected with them, often calling to check in and sharing photos of the interesting sights he encountered on the road.
